Lair of the Bear 2012


This was Elsa's third year at the Lair of the Bear. Last year was a lot of fun, but this year was even better.

Elsa loved the water, and went swimming every day.

She was fearless, jumping into the water again and again. She was so quick to jump into the water that we developed a game where she had to go give someone a high five, in order jump into the water.

One of the new things this year was Elsa jumping off the diving board toward Daddy. After all the fun she still wanted to play with Daddy.

Once water play was done, we would wrap Elsa up in towels and she would finally take her afternoon nap. It was great.

At one of the parties, we had our annual picture with Mike White. He was back as the manager of Camp Blue and as always was a fabulous leader.

Later, Elsa crashed - she was so tired from missing her nap.

Arne played softball - I watched his great hit and him getting on base. It was awesome.

Elsa really just liked the post softball Popsicle.

Elsa was a pretty good sleeper, using a sleeping bag for the first time ever.

Elsa also made a good friend in Mackenzie. They would jump off of rocks together. I found this terrifying, because like in the pool - Elsa would just jump, without looking to see if anyone could catch her.

We had a wonderful week and were lucky to have Grandma in the tent next to ours. Elsa called our tent "my house" and grandma's tent "grandma's house."
